[Bug 1559395] Re: Option to clean automatically expired keys

[Julian Andres Klode]

Not going to happen, seeing that

(a) apt-key is deprecated 
(b) we encourage people to use files in trusted.gpg.d.
(c) we encourage use of keyring packages to do (b)
(d) we stopped depending on gnupg

Title:
  Option to clean automatically expired keys

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 dev with apt 1.2.7 and on executing "apt-key
  list" I'm sometimes noticing that there are expired keys. I could
  removed them manually each but it would be useful if apt-key would
  provide an additional argument (for example "clean") that does
  automatically delete these keys.
